Weekly Review Well I’d say it was a good week. I ran without any niggles this week and I consider that a success. I did run fast only once, but it was a pretty solid 5 miles at the end of a 10 mile run on Thursday. I ended up totaling 42 miles for the week and did 18 of those on trails which continues to be my favorite running even though it is slower. I swam twice and logged about 2.5 miles. I feel like my swimming is getting stronger and can tell my upper body is putting on muscle from the swimming. I really like how I feel after swimming even if I don’t always love it while I’m doing it. I cycled twice, once on the bike trainer and once with the group. Between Craig and Jason I’m getting pushed on the bike more than I ever have. If I keep riding with them I may actually get good at cycling. I also did core and lower body work twice this week. I am now 11 days out from my Thanksgiving half marathon. I really haven’t done much race specific training for this race so I’m not sure how it is going to go or even what my goal time is. I think I will cut back a little on running miles this week and maybe focus a little more on speed. Most importantly I want to feel healthy at the end of the week. |
